Each year, Artists Image Resource invites select artists to work in-residence at the print facility on Pittsburgh’s Northside. As they explore creative ideas and complete new work, Resident Artists have full access to the printmaking shops and equipment at AIR, and are provided with all materials and staff and volunteer assistance.
